Director J.J. Abrams says, “We are so excited to finally share the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again. We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud.”

Star Wars: Episode VII is being directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer. The movie opens worldwide on December 18, 2015.

Is that a black man in the corner? Goodness! Let’s hope it’s a little more multicultural than just a single guy from a race that isn’t white.

Because of how human bodies work, these highly-detailed Han Solo rugs are a great size to be a hallway runner, letting all who enter your abode know you are not to be trifled with. (And also that you’re a huge Star Wars fan.) Line the sides of the hallway with “torches” made from lightsabers, and you’ve got the ultimate entryway for your geek pad. Make your doorbell play Imperial March for the pièce de résistance.

Now you can channel your inner Jabba the Hutt and have a life-size Han Solo in carbonite to decorate your living room. This 7 1/2 foot tall screen-accurate replica is being produced by Sideshow Collectibles. It has light affects on the sides and base and a rear power canister that makes it look like it came right out of Jabba’s palace.

LEGO enthusiast and mad man Erik Varszegi who is known for his amazing skills at creating just about anything using tiny blocks which are available for everyone is at it again with a new amazing creation.

Halo series and Destiny composer Martin ‘Marty’ O’Donnell is no longer working for Bungie, and he claims the studio’s directors fired him “without cause” last Friday, April 11.

O’Donnell tweeted the news this morning, and shortly after Bungie responded on its blog. Community Manager David Dague said the studio and O’Donnell parted ways “as friends.”

This would be troublesome if he turns out to have been up to shady stuff, it’s obvious that he and Bungie aren’t on the same page when it comes to their split. He was sorely missed on Halo 4, it simply wasn’t a Halo game without his iconic musical skills.
